EDITOR'S TABLE. 



The brilliantly-lighted room, with its snow-white walls and ceiling, the evergreens gracefully 

 entwining around the pillars, the long spread tables covered with brilliant flowers and temptingly 

 luscious fruits — and above all, the many lovely and joyous women, gracefully promenading the 

 room, feasting the eye while listening to the strains of Arbogast's saxehorn band — formed a tout 

 ensemble, that feasted the soul with delight, and made lis dream of Paradise. But to this scene, 

 so rapturous to the eye, was added an intellectual treat that was great and rare. "We allude to 

 Prof. Butler's address, which, short as it was, was in itself a gem — rich, racy, and rare. 

 Charles Lamb himself never wrote any thing, we almost were about to say, half so good.
